The uneaten toast by Prince Charles on his wedding day with Princess Diana is being billed as the ‘world’s most upper-crust slice of toast’, despite being well past its eat-by date.

The piece of white bread is said to have been left uneaten by Prince Charles on the morning of his 1981 wedding to Lady Diana Spencer before being taken from his breakfast tray by the mother of a maid who was visiting her daughter at Buckingham Palace.

Thanks to its royal connections, the toast could fetch up to £500 when it goes under the hammer at Charles Hanson Auctioneers, in Etwall, Derbyshire, on July 19.
